The cooling system of your vehicle has the very important role of keeping your engine at the proper operating temperature to run smoothly. If the engine isn't running at the proper temperature, and overheats, it can cause some serious internal damage to the engine.
It is important to maintain the cooling system by doing regularly scheduled coolant services. Coolant, or more commonly called antifreeze, is what circulates through the engine to remove the excess heat and protect the system against corrosion. The key to keeping your cooling system working properly is to make sure that your coolant is fresh, the correct coolant for the vehicle is being used, and always having the correct amount of fluid in the system. Over time the coolant can break down and lose its anti-corrosion properties and can actually start eating away at the cooling system parts, resulting in having to replace expensive components sooner than normal.
Here at Jerry Noonan's Auto Center, we recommend that our customers do a coolant service on their vehicles every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever comes first. Whenever a customer brings in their vehicle we always do a courtesy visual inspection of the cooling system and check to make sure the coolant is at the correct level and is clean.
Not sure if maintenance needs to be done on your vehicle's cooling system? Give us a call today, and we will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have.
